I've had/have 2 Paddy Wagons, both set up as functional all weather commuters. The first (2007 model?) was brand new as an insurance replacement but I didn't really start commuting on it until 2011 and it lasted until 2017 when it was run over by a truck. The 2nd (2009 model?), I bought the frame in 2017 and the parts are a bit flashier. Both fit 28C and mudguards with deep(er) drop brakes, though the clearance is quite tight - it does depend on the trueness of the wheel, where the wheel is on the dropout and tyre choice, but the only really tight part is under the brake. Excuse the Gatorskins but 28c fit with guards, I hardly ever puncture with these and don't seem to notice poor wet weather grip.
